Lawyers Serving Accident and Injury Victims in Frankfort, IL

A serious injury can have life-altering consequences, affecting a victim's physical health, financial stability, and overall well-being. When an injury is caused by another party's negligence, the injured person has the right to obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Schwartz Injury Law provides legal representation for personal injury victims in Frankfort, Illinois. Whether a person has suffered harm due to a car accident, a dangerous product, or nursing home negligence, we help clients recover the compensation they deserve. By handling complex legal issues and advocating for clients in negotiations and litigation, we allow victims to focus on their recovery while we seek justice on their behalf.

Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

Families place their trust in nursing homes to provide safe and compassionate care for their loved ones. Unfortunately, some facilities fail to meet acceptable standards, leading to neglect and abuse. Common signs of nursing home abuse include bedsores, dehydration, malnutrition, and sudden behavioral changes. Victims and their families have legal options to hold negligent facilities accountable and recover damages.

Medication and Pharmacy Errors

Mistakes in prescribing, dispensing, or administering medications can have devastating effects. Pharmacy errors may include providing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to warn about dangerous drug interactions. In hospitals and healthcare facilities, nurses and doctors may miscalculate dosages or administer medications improperly. These errors can lead to severe health complications, organ failure, or even wrongful death. We represent victims of medication and pharmacy errors, working to hold negligent healthcare providers and pharmacies responsible for medical malpractice.

Truck Accidents

Collisions involving large commercial trucks often result in catastrophic injuries. Factors such as driver fatigue, overloaded cargo, and equipment failures contribute to many truck accidents. Determining liability in these cases can be complex, as multiple parties may be responsible, including the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, and manufacturers. Schwartz Injury Law thoroughly investigates truck accident cases to identify all liable parties and recover maximum compensation for victims.

Car Accidents

Distracted driving, reckless behavior, impaired driving, and traffic violations frequently contribute to car crashes. Victims may suffer broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other life-altering conditions. Illinois follows a fault-based insurance system, meaning the driver responsible for the accident can be held liable for a victim's damages. Our attorneys help clients file claims against negligent drivers and negotiate with insurance companies to secure fair settlements.

Product Liability

Defective products often cause significant harm to consumers. Product liability cases may involve faulty medical devices, unsafe prescription drugs, defective auto parts, or hazardous household products. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their products are safe for use. When a product causes injuries due to manufacturing defects, design flaws, or inadequate warnings, victims may have grounds for a lawsuit.
